This programme contains strong language

I love us. Previously... I didn't ever think you felt like that.

..while Love Hate Week strengthened some marriages...

Today's love day!

There's no other way to put it, I love this man.

You'll quite happily shift the blame to me, I can't win with you.

..it revealed worrying faultlines in others.

Sorry.

Grace is hard work.

And as lies and mistrust continue to haunt Julia-Ruth and Divarni...

I don't care whether people know that we have sex or not. You do.

I said we've had attraction issues.

If you're embarrassed of me, why have sex?

She wanted me to not tell everybody about the intimacy part.

It's not fair. I don't know what to do.

..Joe and Maeve's reunion...

Can you really see us working on the outside?

..threw their relationship into turmoil.

I'm feeling overwhelmed. But why? That's how I feel!

What the BLEEP is going on?

Tonight...

Are you ready to take our intimacy to the next level?

..Leigh no sooner enjoys a breakthrough with her own wife...

Yes.

Woo! Yay!

..before she's on a collision course with another...

And she's a little snake.

I'm trying to BLEEP say to you, Julia-Ruth,

you're the one in the wrong.

..as Julia-Ruth faces a backlash from the entire group.

She's been slating you since day one,

and her opinion hasn't changed.

She's been saying it to all the girls, mate.

This relationship is fake.

I'm gonna leave. I'm not doing this.

I was here for a husband, I found one.

I don't need fame.

She is making an absolute mockery of the experiment.

The challenge came at the right time.

After navigating Love Hate Week...

We needed to hash a few things out to move forward.

I think we're one of the strongest couples still here.

Are we going matching, then? Maybe I'll surprise you.

..the couples are getting ready for the fourth dinner party.

- Oh my God, right. - Stick your finger in there.

No! My germs.

Actually, that feels nice.

I love your dress. Thank you.

What do you reckon? Think it's all right like that?

No.

Like that? That's better.

I haven't seen Joe since our last conversation,

but I'm going to meet him for a coffee.

Last time I saw him, we left on really bad terms.

Like, I have so much love for Joe,

but I'm in limbo.

Joe's got a lot going on at the minute.

I know he's struggling, but at the same time,

I've been in here by myself.

Just want honest answers.

What's actually going on between me and him?

I feel like, today, a lot of people have got a lot of questions to ask.

Lot being talked about with Divarni and Julia-Ruth.

If it was me, I would be out of here

because she's telling everyone that she doesn't fancy him at all,

she doesn't know why they've been matched,

there's not one thing she likes.

She said she told him ten times...

That she doesn't fancy him? ..yeah.

But yet she's secretly sleeping with him.

Divarni popped over to my apartment this week,

and I kind of told him what I'd heard.

I just felt transparency was important.

When I last spoke to you after you spoke to Divarni here,

it was like Divarni was so sure

that they weren't going to progress in their relationship.

Everything had come out,

and he felt like he'd been mugged off and made a fool of.

I don't even know where they're at now.

How are you feeling about tonight?

I'm actually quite looking forward to it

because I feel like we're going in after a good week. Mm.

So, like, we've got no problems at the moment.

I feel like this is the strongest we've been, Leigh and I.

We're definitely moving towards a more intimate relationship,

so I'm happy, the way it's going.

I feel like the energy tonight

is going to be people reflecting on their week...

Yeah. ..and there's been a lot of drama this week.

Yeah, you're right, actually. Julia-Ruth and Divarni...

..I feel like way too much has happened for them to come back from.

I think it's quite abundantly obvious

that she's just not into him.

I mean, she was sleeping with him behind closed doors,

but she can't even answer on the couch if she fancies him or not.

Mm.

It's the stuff that she said to all of us,

that she just doesn't find him attractive.

And I feel like he's been humiliated way too much now,

at this point, and I think, if she knows, deep down,

that there's not going to be anything further,

she needs to be honest with him

and honest with herself and everyone else. Yeah.

I am 100% Team Divarni.

If he's going to continue to try and make things work,

I feel like that, in a way, is Julia-Ruth getting into his head

and making him believe that something's going to come out of it

when I think it's all been made pretty obvious

that nothing's going to come of it.

I'm not telling anyone anything about our week.

We're not going to go live with our issues this week, no?

We haven't even argued once this week yet.

Yeah...no.

Just a drunken dispute. During Love Hate Week,

a remark from Ashley landed poorly with Grace...

Grace was being a dick. We can't really...

..pointing to deeper issues in their marriage.

There's a level of joke and then there's a bit of disrespect.

Things like, we've obviously had a tiff,

and this morning when you summarised it, "Grace is being a dick."

It's always on me, and to be honest... It's not always on you.

I've changed loads of myself to be with Grace.

Do I want to change this bit of me as well?

You want me to laugh it off and be playful.

Then you want me to call you out in the moment.

You've got to tell me, Ash.

I thought we'd already put it to bed.

OK, then we'll put it to bed. We'll move on.

Love Hate Week was eye-opening.

It kind of helped me emphasise a few points

I've really been trying to drive home for Ash

that he might finally now understand.

We cannot seem to have one simple, straightforward week.

I'm sick of fighting, to be honest. Me too.

Thought at this stage, we'd be a lot better.

I didn't think these things would still be coming up,

and why try and relive and rehash things?

Like, I don't want to lose parts of me in this,

I don't want to be something I'm not,

I just want to be in here and be me and be accepted for that,

so I'm hoping it gets easier,

because I don't think I could, like, do this all the way through.

Having time away from Maeve

has definitely given me more clarity on the situation,

and there are problems in the relationship.

I'm a lot more sort of laidback when it comes to disagreements.

I feel like we need to openly discuss these problems

rather than just sort of beat around the bush.

I respect Maeve and I care about her dearly...

..but I'm definitely pulling back slightly from the relationship.

You all right?

I really do want to work out

whether we are going to work going forward.

I got you an orange juice.

Thank you for that.

Just been shit, ain't it?

Yeah.

The dinner party is tonight, like, are you coming with us or...

..or not?

I can't, because I've got my grandad's funeral.

Like, it's tomorrow. So I'm gonna have to go back home.

Yeah. Obviously, that's fine.

But I feel guilty... Why?

..because again, it's like...

..leaving you in the shit.

Yeah, but it's not, though, it's like something completely different,

do you know what I mean? Like, of course you need to do that.

All I need to know is, like, where we're at.

I'm sorry for, like, being away, but I've needed it.

I've just not been kept in the loop with anything, though, have I?

But what are your thoughts on everything?

It's not about what I'm feeling, it's about what you're feeling,

because I feel like I've just been pushed away throughout this.

Like, where's your head in this, like, with me and you?

Do you know what I mean? Like, I don't know where it is.

There's things which are putting, like, doubts in my head.

Like what? Like...

You know that you go from 0 to 100, like, pretty quick.

I feel like I've got to watch what I say

in case you might fucking just...

..take something the wrong way or...

..stuff like when I've been, like, say,

going for a coffee in the morning, you wouldn't, like, come with me...

If you want to do more stuff, tell us.

I'm just telling you now. I'm not asking...

You've not been here, though.

Fucking eye-roll at us all you like.

Do you know what it is? I'm gonna fucking...

I'm not saying, "Let's do something every single day"...

Fucking hell, man. ..once or twice a week.

You haven't fucking been.... So I can't go and...

Fuck you, you've not been...

Why are you saying, "Fuck you"?

I really do want to have these discussions,

but it's not easy talking to Maeve about these things.

She does just go off on one very easily.

I don't like drama, I don't like confrontation.

But you can't blame this all on me.

I'm not blaming it on you.

I'm not saying, "You're wrong, I'm right."

But where do we go from here?

Like, where? That's what I need to know.

That's what I'm saying, we, we...

..I just feel like I can't give a definitive answer

on what's going on.

Well, that doesn't help me, though, does it? Because I need to...

If you're not coming back, just say.

Because then I can go.

I've got every intention of coming back.

I don't know.

I totally get that your head is all over

and you've got a massive thing that you need to do back at home,

But I feel right now, that Joe's taking a step back.

Joe means the absolute world to me.

Ideally, we could work through this,

but right now, I don't know if he's thinking the same.

Well, we've now officially passed

the halfway mark in the experiment, so gloves are off, guys,

this is the business end of things.

We don't want any couples to be coasting,

or hiding, or avoiding.

This is where things get real. Now, of course,

on the back of Love Hate Week,

it's really important to see if the couples are able to be honest

about what's going on in their relationship,

and can they take that feedback?

You know, this is what we want to see.

Come on, then. Oh. Ooh!

Rebecca and Bailey, first in tonight. Yes.

You look lovely, I'll just stand here and watch you.

Aw.

Cheers. Chin, chin. Cheers.

I'm interested to see if Joe and Maeve will walk in together.

I think if he comes, he'll walk in alone, maybe.

Mm. So it sounds like something's happened with Joe and Maeve.

We need to know more about what's going on here.

So is this the calm before the storm, I reckon?

Hi! Hi. Ah, Leigh and Leah. Fabulous. You look gorgeous.

Nice, cute dresses. Hi, baby. They look good coming in.

Hands held all the way through, smiles,

good body language.

Well, when we saw Leigh and Leah on the couch last week,

there was a real breakthrough, I think,

for Leigh, where she was realising that,

yes, her walls were up, and she was making some real effort

to be a little bit more open and transparent with Leah.

You had a nice week? Yeah, we've had a nice week now.

Yeah, we had an argument. About time yous had an argument.

No, it's not, what are you on about?

I feel like now it's fine, yeah, I think we got over it well.

Go on, girl! There you go.

Ooh!

Hi, guys. Strangers. Grace and Ashley.

You look gorgeous. Thank you, honey.

The last time we saw them, they were in a great space.

Let's see how they've done this week. Yes.

You both look like you've got the weight of the world

on your shoulder. Something's happened,

I can tell by yous are all...

Yeah, what's going on? What's on your mind?

This is definitely a bit odd. They can't even look at each other.

What's going on? So we did, um, Love Hate Week this week.

Oh, yes. So when we were doing the hate,

I turned around to Grace, and I was like, um,

"We're fine", like, we're not arguing,

"but, like, Grace was just being a bit of a dick",

and I smiled and winked at her,

and then she sort of smiled back at me,

so I thought it was taken as a joke.

Yeah. And then Grace brought it up a bit later then

and I was like,

why did you feel the need to bring that up, and in that situation?

Well, there's a lot of emphasis on, like,

"You're taking it the wrong way",

but your jokes are just at my expense,

like, paint me in a bad light,

so that you can make other people laugh.

I'm just a bit sick of it now.

Observing Grace and Ashley, it looks like the two of them are competing,

they're point-scoring.

Neither of them here are taking accountability

or acknowledging that what they've said

might have upset the other.

I think when you have an argument and you are blaming each other,

you've kind of lost each other, haven't you?

And I guess the issue with this kind of conflict management

is that, well, it doesn't resolve anything. Yes.

So it's only going to escalate from here.

Hey! Ah, yous all right?

Oh, Maeve.

Yous all right? You look lovely. Thank you.

Obviously, our heart goes out to Joe.

It must be tough for him. He's gone to his grandad's funeral,

so that leaves Maeve to arrive on her own again.

And this dinner party environment can be a very lonely place

if you're not with your partner.

Right? So... Didn't know if you'd be coming in on your own.

Um, so, yeah, I saw him this morning.

Oh, OK. Yeah. Oh. Um, he's just told me

that he's going to his grandad's funeral.

That's fair enough. If he's got a funeral, fine. OK.

So that's why he's not here.

Has he said when he's coming back?

When I walked in, we started off, like, arguing.

Well, I said, I was like,

"I get it, like, you're going through a lot, but just communicate with us."

I just feel like he's not being honest. Mm.

Sounds like there's more to this.

I mean, looking at Maeve's response,

this is not just about him going to a funeral.

I don't think he's being honest, either.

I had a conversation with Joe and quite an in-depth conversation,

telling me that he doesn't love Maeve.

I'm feeling really conflicted.

Like, Maeve's saying all this,

and I know more than everybody else.

I feel for Maeve. She deserves answers,

but I'm not betraying Joe's trust.

I feel really muggy, but what am I supposed to do?

Do you think him staying away this week is him, like,

he doesn't want to burden you, or...

Yes, but that's just pushed me away. ..does he want to be away from you?

Because what I'm trying to understand is,

yes, he's got a lot going on externally,

but why does he not want to be around you?

I don't know. I don't know.

I just think it's shit. Well, let's not forget that not long ago,

Joe sat on our couch and told us he was in love with Maeve.

She seems confused, upset. I really feel for Maeve.

I'm really stressing that I'm doing this alone.

I'm not waiting forever.

Just say it how it is.

Hey, darlings. How are we doing?

April and Leo.

Lovely, gorge. Mwah!

Hello. How are you, you all right? How are you?

Looking happy together. Yes.

But once again, they have gone their separate ways quite quickly.

It's like they're desperate to get the support from the group,

as opposed to being a unified couple.

And in particular for those two,

it is April who darts away first. Yeah.

How's everything going with you and Leo?

A bit difficult, because...

You're very switched on, you're very fast.

I think he's a lovely guy, by the way.

I spent a lot of time with him at the thing,

he's actually so sound.

But do I think he's going to be someone

that's gonna keep your mind going?

Mentally stimulating. No way.

When we initially met Leo, he was larger than life.

But there is something about this dynamic with April

that is not bringing out his best.

Whatever is going on in that dynamic,

he's keeping himself small.

And that's keeping her bored. What's the situ at home now?

Like, he's intimate and that? Or is it just like...

No.

Oh.

Well, this is really sad to see,

because we know that April and Leo had a great sex life

when it came to the honeymoon,

but something has not gone quite right here.

What we know is, if there isn't an emotional,

stimulating connection between couples,

that can really impact intimacy.

I think, like, what's on, kind of, our minds is Divarni.

Bailey saw him. He was very, like,

just saw everything for what it was.

He was like, "Yep, she's mugged me off, she's fooled me", like.

She's been slagging him off for weeks,

she's been lying to everyone

and saying she's not sleeping with him when she is. Wow. Oh.

So they are sleeping together. Wow.

Are you attracted to him, or are you not?

This is ridiculous. Why? Yes. Yeah.

Now he needs to respect himself and, like,

put himself first above Julia-Ruth.

That means that Divarni and Julia-Ruth

have been lying to us for the last few weeks

about whether they've slept together or not.

Now, I understand privacy.

Now, you can literally just say, "We don't want to talk about it,"

but to actually pretend that you haven't been intimate when you have?

That's unacceptable.

No, but seriously,

am I bollocks expecting Julia-Ruth and Divarni to walk in together?

There's a point of, like, no return, and I think they're way past that.

Last week was really difficult.

Divarni and I spent nights in separate apartments.

It's been tough. If I was outside of this experiment,

I mean, I wouldn't take half the stuff that I've gone through,

but she has apologised.

We've got this. Yeah, yeah.

We had our time apart,

we reconciled, came together.

I don't think there'll be too many happy faces

that we'll be together.

Divarni, it's probably the first time I've seen him so emotional.

It's like in this, as well, everything is so, so intense, like.

I feel like he's going to get his feelings really hurt. Yeah.

Yeah. Ooh, someone else?

Hi.

Wow.

Hello, hello.

Hey, guys. Um...

They look happy, I don't understand.

I don't even know what to say at this point.

How are you? Hello, my love, how are you?

Come on. Fuck!

That's the coldest reception in MAFS history, right there.

How are you? Hello, my love, how are you?

They're together, then.

I'm, like, baffled by it, but...

I'll probably, yeah, I'll probably ask.

Go on, then.

Where do you want to sit?

Right next to you.

This is so awkward.

Surprised to see you guys here together.

Yeah. Yeah?

What's the latest? Let's get into it.

What's the latest?

Yeah, we obviously had a bit of a week, didn't we? Defo.

Celebrated yesterday, our one-month. Yeah.

Our one-month anniversary. Cool.

That makes sense.

I think - let's go back,

let's go back to the beginning of the week... Rewind!

..because, I mean, we're not living in La La Land any more, are we?

Well, understandably, the group's confused.

I mean, we're confused. Last time we saw them,

Julia-Ruth couldn't even say

whether she was attracted to her husband or not,

and here they are.

Clearly, they've been sleeping together and lying about it.

Yeah.

What's happened? Like, basically, you've got all the heat at the spa,

everyone put everything on you.

Everyone went in on you, basically, and said you were delusional.

That was what everyone's belief was, at that point,

that you were, you were painting a picture of this lovely,

happy situation that we knew from Julia-Ruth wasn't reality.

Why - how has this 180ed, is what I don't understand.

I've apologised to this man

because this is the person that I'm in a relationship with,

not everyone, so this is the man who I owe an apology to,

and who I have apologised to.

There's a difference between keeping something private,

I totally get that... Yep.

..but to give a completely different narrative

of, like, no attraction...

Attraction or whatever, I don't know,

call it what you want, I have struggled with it,

but there's lots of things that draws me to Divarni...

I don't know... ..I'm not done talking either.

I do fully put my hands up in the sense that, like,

I overdid it or whatever.

I fully do take accountability for that. Overdid what, though?

Playing down that we hadn't had sex

when there was a time when we were having sex.

His character has been ripped apart for weeks.

You talk so much about what you're not getting from him...

..but behind closed doors, he is doing those things.

Are you attracted to Divarni?

Obviously I am if I'm having sex...

Why not tell your girls, then?

Because I'm still fucking figuring a lot of things out here

with our relationship, I'm not going to lie.

But attractiveness is base-level.

Sorry we're not you and Rebecca and have had a smooth sailing.

Hang on, we've not had smooth sailing.

It's also very real. Like, it's real, babe.

I feel like you do need to make your mind up, Julia-Ruth,

because he's infatuated with you.

Yes, he is, and Divarni is clearly in a place

where he doesn't even understand the reality of his relationship,

because he's so attracted to his partner.

Like, he is, everything about you.

Seriously, though, don't now force it down my face.

I will take accountability for what I've said.

Do you not feel like you've been mugged off this whole time?

Obviously, before, yes, I did, and that's why I was fuming.

We spent nights apart and that gave us clarity, of course.

This group is highly upset because week in and week out,

these couples are putting in the work,

going through the highs and lows

of what a relationship journey is supposed to be.

Yes, the couples are really insulted

by the fact that they are putting in the work

but Julia-Ruth is not really doing it

and essentially making a mockery of the process.

They need to focus on their own relationships.

It's bullshit.

Hey! Hi, guys!

Are you OK, my love?

You couldn't have come in at a better time.

OK, good, that fills me with lots of joy.

At last, some sweetness and light.

You feel relieved when they walk in. Here they are.

I worry for him, man,

I worry that he's going to regret it.

Should we get him over? Yeah.

Divarni, do you wanna go for a chat?

Can I chat with the boys? Ugh.

Yeah, can I come? Don't have to ask permission, just you, mate.

If you go, it's done. You think so?

I think what we've seen here

is that Julia-Ruth is petrified that actually,

the boys will get into Divarni's ear and turn him against her.

Well, she's losing control, isn't she? Yes.

So the moment Divarni goes over to the boys

without her being present...

..she's lost the strings. Yes.

This is bollocks.

It is all bullshit.

Is there not an element of you right now that's sat and thought,

"Cool, you've been ripping me apart,"

which she has, to everybody,

including me, day after fucking day...

I can't speak about what she's talking to you guys.

No, I know you can't. I'm telling you,

multiple other people can tell you that this is what's happened, right?

And she has made it categorically clear

that she doesn't think there's a future moving forward.

You've got to look at it and you've got to be like, bro...

All this shit that she was saying to you guys, I put a stop to that.

Do you know what I mean?

But that was actually... What? ..genuine.

Did I miss that? Whoa.

Divarni just says it like it's nothing.

I am worried about how you feel and how you are being portrayed.

What's been happening hasn't been right, mate.

We don't think it's genuine,

and I do hope that you can see it for what it is,

and don't be blinded by your feelings.

Sure.

It just doesn't make sense.

It made sense, we came together, kind of made a middle ground.

What did that come from?

I think it was just...

Well, you've just forgiven everything, then, basically,

that's what you're saying.

Forgive, but never forget.

I've forgiven Julia-Ruth.

I still have strong feelings for her,

but for it to progress forward, there has to be a serious change.

Yeah. My sweet, sweet, sweet wife.

Oh, it's really nice to see you guys like this. I love this so much.

I can tell that you guys, like, got way closer this week.

It's really, really nice to see. Yeah, massively.

The stick is well and truly pulled out of my own arse.

I love that. Oh! Cheers to that. Cheers to the stick out of her arse!

I love that Leigh can laugh at herself on this,

because that's been a pretty confronting and tough process

for her to go through.

It's nice that they've allowed themselves

to really let go and kind of enjoy one another.

It just feels a little bit lighter today

between the two of them. It does.

Bonjour. Hi. Ooh.

Reiss and Leisha, holding hands. Yeah.

Now, that was obviously really important for Leisha.

Come here, sexy girl.

They're looking a little bit more aligned tonight,

so it'll be interesting to see how things have progressed.

Yeah. OK, cheers. Oh, cheers.

So, what's the latest, what's been going on?

The last week has all been good, I can't really complain. Oh, is it?

Good. It's been a lot better. I like Leisha a lot,

but she is probably moving at a bit of a faster pace than me.

This is common,

and this is something that happens in probably every relationship

where you have one person who's a little bit faster

and one person who's a little bit slower,

but it doesn't mean that you can't catch up to each other.

Yeah. Well, it's all about that communication between the couple...

Yes. ..about letting each other know where they're at and what they need.

I'm not sure that Leisha and Reiss are quite there yet.

What about you? What's happening with you?

So we had, like, actually a really good week, for a change.

Um, a nice date... Yeah.

I think things are progressing in the right direction now.

Yeah. She's been amazing.

She's a good-looking girl. ..gorgeous person...

Exactly. ..like, there's loads of amazing positives about her.

Wahey! Hi!

Oh, my goodness. Abi and John,

in the most perfectly matched outfit I think I've seen.

Oh, they are super-cute. Oh, my God.

So this couple are strongly signalling to the rest of the group,

"We are tight, and we're doing really well."

Did you do Love Hate Week? Love Hate Week? Yeah.

How was that? It was good, it was easy. Yeah?

Yeah. We've had a really good week. It's just consistency.

She feels really, really comfortable.

Like, I can see myself becoming a better person as well

because of Abi, do you know what I mean? It's good.

Aw, that's really lovely. Yeah, I really like it.

That's very good, mate. How's your week been?

Uh, yeah, we had the Love Hate, which was good,

which helped us out.

What were her hates for you?

Um, one of them was,

she wants me to be a bit more, like, spontaneous in the bedroom.

Oh, right. Really? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

But I said to her, "Fucking hell, it's not a tap.

"Jesus, I can't turn that shit on and off like that," you know?

ALL CHEER

I missed you guys. Nelly and Steven.

Take her off me.

Hi, gorgeous. The last time that I saw Steven,

I really had to pull him up on how he's treating Nelly,

deflecting, minimising,

so hopefully he's learned, and he's changed. Yeah.

How have you and Nelly been this week, anyway?

I think we've had a good week, to be fair.

Yeah, about time, I think.

Love Hate for us was good. Yeah.

I think we hashed out a few things.

So what were your hates?

Her hates to me was, she hates that she likes me

more than what I like her.

And I said, "Well, look, I think that's intermittent,

"that's always going to change."

I've opened up more, I've been more vulnerable,

I've been more emotional.

Now I've got closer to her,

she's not saying, "Hurry up, come on, catch up to me."

You gotta work on what's most important.

This week, I don't know anything that's going on

because I've kept myself to myself.

I feel like I think this week has just been really good.

I've just felt more comfortable and it's been so nice.

Who would have thought?

Well, hopefully this means

that they have worked through some of their issues

and Nelly is getting the positive feedback

that she has really wanted from Steven.

How...how are you?

How are you guys in this position now?

It's not that we're like, "Oh, we're perfect,

"happy, white picket-fence couple now."

We obviously keep coming back to each other,

and sure, maybe he wasn't my type in my head,

or what my exes might look like,

but if we're being intimate, that's taken me by surprise,

and taken me a minute to admit that to myself.

I know everyone's going, "Oh, you've said shit about Divarni."

But I also have said nice things about Divarni.

Why didn't you feel like you could talk with me about it?

That's the only thing.

So Julia-Ruth and Davide have a really close friendship,

so I can imagine that Davide's quite disappointed to hear

that actually, Julia-Ruth had been lying to him the whole time.

I'm just going to say sorry. Only thing I can say is, like,

I don't think I had processed... Any of it.

..no. But I'm not making any excuses. I'm just saying I'm sorry,

that's all that I'm saying. I take that.

And I love you, and I'm sorry, bubba,

I'm sorry I didn't tell you.

No, for real. No, for real, though.

So many conversations, though... I know. ..in private.

And somehow, she's crying.

Because she's been caught out. Mm-hmm.

I'm not good at asking people for help.

I was just taken aback, I'm so sorry I didn't tell you.

It's fine, don't cry, Don't cry. No, no.

Don't cry, don't cry.

I think Julia-Ruth's completely fake.

And I'm so fucking annoyed at this situation.

Ooh. Very nice.

Madame. Thank you.

Oh, you bloody gent.

Hello, darlings. Hello.

Oh, I love. Hi, gorge! You OK, baby? Yay!

Chicken looks quite good, though. It does.

I've got a big breast here.

It's massive! You have!

I've got two big...

What about the food?

It's pretty with your hair like that. My hair up? Aw, thank you.

Oh. I'm just trying to cheer Maeve up.

Not much is really working. No.

It feels so weird being here without Joe.

Of course I feel sad.

Like, everyone's in the couples, and I'm just here by myself.

You all right?

Sure? I know that look.

I know that fucking look.

No, you don't know that look.

Definitely sensing some frostiness here between Leigh and Julia-Ruth.

Oh, speech! Got another speech.

I am going to do a speech today.

Me and my lovely wife have had a really good week this week.

We've made a lot of progress,

and I feel like we've come into today really happy,

so that's good vibes.

Um, but I also think that we should all cheers to being open and honest

and saying our true opinions tonight...

..and so yeah, let's raise a glass to that.

Cheers. Cheers, guys.

Clearly a statement that was aimed at Julia-Ruth -

"Let's get some honesty from you."

Oh, my God! No, no, no.

What? Oh, it felt like you had something to say.

What's your issue?

Oh, I've made it pretty clear what my issue is.

I've said it to you and I've said it in the group.

You really seriously need to watch it...

..because you ran your mouth, babe, seriously.

This is absolute bullshit.

Leigh needs to watch what she's saying.

Because you ran your mouth, babe, seriously.

This whole thing tonight from you feels so fucking weird.

Please explain.

You're pulling her up on something, but what are you pulling her up on?

I will pull her up in private and have a conversation.

Are you happy with that.. More than happy.

..or do you want to shout across the table?

JULIA-RUTH CLEARS HER THROAT

i think she's a little snake.

My thing that irritates me the most,

for you to not even have the maturity to come and talk to me

and call me out on my stuff,

to run around and be like, "Julia-Ruth, Julia-Ruth,"

you're telling people X, Y, and Z about me and Divarni - baffles me.

If someone asks for my opinion, I will tell my opinion.

All I've done is told him the truth.

I have fuck-all to say to you, Julia-Ruth.

My loyalty lies with Divarni, because you're the one in the wrong.

I feel like when you found out that Divarni and I were intimate,

you've panicked. You were trying to put all the shit

on Divarni and I, when your relationship is a friendship.

OK, well, that's absolute bollocks.

That's a load of bollocks coming out of your mouth,

and you're trying to deflect.

I'm not trying to deflect.

It's absolutely making no fucking sense.

I think it's abundantly fucking obvious

that if I've got something to fucking say, I'll say it.

Some things aren't adding up.

I don't care. I don't care about your opinion.

You don't have to agree with...

I don't agree with what you've done, I think it's wrong.

Julia-Ruth just tried to pin something on me

because she was trying to deflect from her own relationship.

Sorry that I've told the truth, and you don't like it.

Oh, are we both going for the same chair?

Oh, OK, apparently we are. Ooh.

Wow. Sat down in that. Mwah.

What happened there?

No, I know, but what happened there?

Leigh has been the one saying all this about Divarni and stuff.

She's on her high horse, yapping her mouth away.

They've done a 180 in their relationship

and they're romantic. Weird.

But you literally are pretending

that you guys have got a connection.

She's trying to deflect her relationship into someone else's.

This situation is absolutely fucked up.

Can I...you don't have to answer it. No, no, go for it.

Julia-Ruth and Divarni and you are close, so that's fine...

No. Do you think she fancies him? No, definitely not.

I think he is literally besotted with Julia-Ruth.

I think she is everything that he wants in a woman,

and it just seems like she's playing with his emotions

for her own benefit.

She has spent five weeks... Slagging him off!

Mate, I've been hearing all of this stuff,

like, slagging him, and then to sit there next to him...

She just keeps going, perpetuating these lies.

I do think he kind of is like, not brainwashed,

but just not seeing it, like,

and he is going to get hurt. It's gross.

Julia-Ruth does not like Divarni, she's made it very clear.

Julia-Ruth is staying in this marriage

because she'd really love 15 minutes of fame.

It's not a personal attack tonight on you and Divarni, but...

We just don't think your relationship is honest.

How many times do I have to... But please, please listen...

..put my hands up and say... ..it's not saying you're dishonest,

it's saying this relationship seems disingenuous.

Our issue is, this comes across very fake.

Right? Yeah.

And that is the issue, this relationship is fake.

It comes across fake. No one believes this is real.

Raise your hand if you believe this relationship's real.

Well, then, then, there we go, you've had your opinions

because nobody lets me get more than five words in

before they interject. No, I can't.

I'm gonna leave. I'm not doing this.

Keye.

It's all fucking bullshit. Bubba, bubba, come here, Keye.

Keye.

No, no, I'm not doing this on camera.

Guys, do whatever the fuck you want, I'm going for a cigarette.

I don't agree with it.

I think she is making an absolute mockery of the experiment,

because most of us have come here for love.

Out of everyone here, I was here for a husband, I fucking found one.

I don't need fame, because I actually have a six-figure salary.

Fuck her, what she's done is wrong.

Divarni, I'm sitting next to Keye.

Keye's been telling me she's been slating you since day one.

Is that what Keye said?

I said to Keye, "Does she fancy Divarni?"

He was like, "Absolutely not,

"she's made it very clear from day one."

She's been saying it to all the girls, mate.

Surely Divarni's got to listen to this.

And her opinion hasn't changed one second, until now.

Julia-Ruth's choices to lie, and to hold information back,

has had an impact on everyone in that group.

They feel deceived, it's reduced the trust. Yeah.

It's fractured them.

Got the box?

Bloody hell.

Are you ready to take our intimacy to the next level?

Yes.

No hesitation. Yeah. Very certain from Leigh.

Yes. This is new, this is good. Yeah.

I think even Leah's shocked.

It's not genuine, they've been stiff as boards this whole time.

Enjoy pretending that you guys are into each other.

Like, it's going to get exhausting,

but do your thing, girl.

Who is the most and least honest couple here?

Most honest?

Well, other than us,

because I feel like she's brutally honest with me...

..I'd probably say Bec and Bailey are the most honest.

There's a lot of honest people in here.

There's dishonest people as well, I feel.

Least...

..because of what's been happening...

..obviously yous.

Divarni...

..do you believe that I'm attracted to you?

Mm,

that's a tough one.

Um...

Your answer.

I don't think so, no. Really?

No, no, no, emotionally, we're getting to that level, for sure,

and there's attractiveness in so many different ways,

but physically, I don't think so, no.

OK. Yeah. But you've slept together.

Julia-Ruth, have you been emotionally or physically attracted

to another husband in this experiment?

Yeah, physically,

I think there's someone here that's physically attractive.

Who? But I wouldn't cheat on you, but...

..probably Steven.

Fuck.

Nothing would transpire or happen,

that's not what I'm here for.

Shit. Like, straight off the bat,

she wasn't able to answer if she was actually attracted to me,

but when it was a question that pertained to another husband,

that was easy, that was easy for her to answer.

It doesn't surprise me that Julia-Ruth has said

that Steven would be her type physically,

but at the end of the day, he's not your husband, so back off.

It must be really difficult for Maeve

to see all these lovely couples

showing so much affection to one another,

and of course Joe isn't there with her.

You know, I feel really sorry for her right now.

How many times have you seen Joe? Twice?

Uh, yeah.

If you don't want to be in this, just say,

"I don't want to be in it, it's not for me."

I feel like you're quite an upfront person,

and you deserve the same courtesy back.

Maybe we need to accept

that he's just not in the headspace to break up.

"If I pull away enough, she'll do it,

"and it'll save me the emotional investment"

of having to break up with you himself.

Do you think that's possible?

I'm gonna cry, I can feel the tears coming.

I just feel mugged off.

Howay.

Um... OK.

I feel like a fucking mug.

I just fucking hate this.

I know.

I'm sorry that you feel that way, I really am.

We all think the fucking world of you, though.

Yeah, but that's not Joe, though, is it?

I get that, obviously, going to a funeral,

I totally get that,

That's not what I'm upset about. It's the days before.

Yeah, and I get that you need space to do whatever you've got to do,

but you've not really kept me in the loop.

Until he's back and he can answer himself,

that is what... But how can anything go back to normal?

Right now, you've been...

Left. Yeah.

And that is the hardest part of this situation for Maeve,

is, this is not new to her,

this has been an ongoing pattern in her life

with the men that she's been connected with.

And sadly,

it's just reconfirmed her fears that men are going to let her down.

I mean, could you see yourself giving him,

is there a world where you're like,

"OK, he's going through a lot,

"he went through a funeral, he's not himself"?

Just feel completely mugged off with the full thing.

Don't fucking sit and tell us that you love us, then leave us.

Yeah. Like they always fucking do.

It's every fucking time. Yeah, but Joe's not everyone else.

But he is, he's just another lad

that's fucking mugged us off yet again.

And here I fucking am

in the same situation,

fucking upset over a fucking lad.

I've done everything and more for him.

But just say, do you know what I mean?

Oh.

What do I do now?

The question here is,

is Maeve willing to wait for Joe, or is this the end of the road for her?

Next time... We definitely have the physical connection.

Very pleased with how that's going.

..as some couples revel in their closeness...

You have done the most fabulous job

finding me everything I need.

..others confront a crisis.

Joe is not being completely honest with what he wants to say.

I've seen Joe.

If I go spilling everything he said to me,

then he's never going to trust anyone again.

This is shit. And a reckoning for Julia-Ruth...

I've never heard somebody sit on a couch

and lie so much in all my life.

You're not interested in your husband, we all know that.

How is that not manipulating the group?

Divarni, is there anything that Julia-Ruth will do

that you won't forgive?

..gives Divarni a decision dilemma.

A lot of shit that's happened this week.

So I've decided to...
